PEOPLE DAILY \ Wednesday, August 27, 2014 I‘m ready to work with you, Uhuru tells Raila President spares cordial words for Cord leader as the two meet at Mungai funeral service and Clement Kamau @PeopleDailyKe President Uhuru Kenyatta has told by Brian Ngugi Cord leader Raila Odinga he is ready to work with him, as the two leaders had a rare encounter at the funeral service of former minister Dr Njoroge Mungai. Kenya needs development, Uhuru told Raila, adding that he is ready to work with him to achieve this. Raila’s Cord and Uhuru’s Jubilee sides have for several months been facing off over the former’s push for national dialogue and now for a referendum to amend various aspects of the law. Uhuru, retired President Kibaki and Raila converged at Thogoto PCEA Church of the Torch for the service of Dr Mungai who died last week. Uhuru said leaders should not waste time on squabbling, noting that they should concentrate on development. “I can see my brother Raila here and I can assure him that I have no problem with him, I look forward to working with him and I believe that is what the Kenyan people want of us. To pull together like past leaders did,” said Uhuru. BONE OF CONTENTION President Uhuru’s Jubilee side and Raila’s Cord coalition are locked in a tussle over a referendum push spearheaded by the opposition Raila, who had in June called for national dialogue between the government and the opposition, changed tact and called for a plebiscite, after dialogue failed to take place Cord is currently engaged in a national exercise to collect at least one million signatures to give their push for a vote legal standing Kibaki had set the tone for Uhuru’s speech when he said leaders should work together. Kibaki said: “There is too much quar- relling between ourselves, but let us respect the life of Dr Mungai by making Kenya prosperous because, by fighting among yourselves, you will not achieve much .” But, in his speech, before Uhuru spoke, Raila steered clear of politics and concentrated on praising Dr Mungai. Uhuru and Raila had earlier heartily shaken hands, with the President, who was one of the pall bearers, wearing a white arm band. Also at the service were Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, KIambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi, MPs Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu), Paul Koinange (Kiambaa) John Kirangu (Limuru), Moses ole Sakuda (Kajiado North) and Moses Kuria (Gatundu South).

First Lady Margret Kenyatta will de- liver the keynote address at the two-day forum to be held at the Bomas Hotel. Mandera, Wajir, Nairobi, Nakuru, Ka- kamega, Kilifi, Nandi, Bungoma, Homa Bay, Migori, Kisumu, Siaya, Trans Nzoia, Garissa and Kwale counties have been picked by Health ministry and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for Politicians on the spot at Lamu land hearing the forum because they contribute to more than 16 per cent of the total national maternal deaths. “The disparities in maternal mortal- ity between counties are considerable, where the county with the highest number of maternal mortality has 20 times the deaths of that with the lowest,” UNPF country representative Siddharth Catterjee told a media briefing yesterday. Mandera tops the list with 2,136 ma- ternal deaths annually and has a maternal mortality ratio of 3,795 deaths per every 100,000 births followed by Wajir with 583 maternal deaths with a maternal mortality ratio of 1,683:100,000 live birth births. The ongoing public hearing on Lamu land allocations by the National Land Commission (NLC) was told how political leaders illegally allocated land to win favours. Hindu Resident Welfare Association chairman Khuzema Salim accused former councillors in the defunct Lamu County Council of irregularly creating 10 ranches without the knowledge of the residents. Salim told Mohammad Swazuri-led commission how a resolution passed by 19 local leaders in April 2012, has turned to haunt the more than 100,000 residents. “The councillors were heavily bribed by well-connected individuals,” he said during his submission to the commission at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre yesterday. — VICTOR RABALLA NEWS BEAT KENYA’S No. 1 FREE NEWSPAPER ROUND-UP OF DAY’S EVENTS 5 PAC demands Judiciary cars’ purchase details A parliamentary committee has demanded an inventory of 105 vehicles purchased by the Judiciary for magistrates at a cost of Sh561 million from CMC motors and DT Dobbie.
